Price range is definitely key, given the school district standards and under 1 hour commute -- cities and towns like Newton, Lexington, Belmont, and Concord are quite expensive.
I grew up in Waltham (the "working class" town abutting Newton, Lexington, etc.) and was able to get an excellent honors level education, but its system does deal with a larger percentage of children with various learning challenges. However, the adults who run the gifted and honors programs make sure to keep academically advanced kids engaged.
